Although the attendance was small, the meeting developed considerable discussion on changes of rules and conditions for the ensuing year. Several changes are contemplat ed to improve golfing and con demns to align the course a3 nearly as possible with rules set down by the U.S.G.A. The 1949 spring season was put in full swing by the election of officers for the coming year. Named were: president, Lloyd Quinn; general vice-president, Robert King; vice-president in charge of entertainment, O. T. Bateman; vice-president in charge of operations, Dave Howard and feeretary-treasurer, Paul Dyer.

Newbry has reported. He said state police indicate the same situation is true among drivers being cited for other traf fic offenses. Most of the offend ers have let their licenses expire instead of renewing when due. Under the law, an expired license is the same as no license at all. Secretary Newbry, whose office administers the license program, reminds motorists that renewal of the old “5R” numbered licenses began nearly two years ago, and that all of them will be invalid by May 31. Expiration is by serial number, with schedules available at any police or driver's examiner office. State police issued 18,143 cita tions for no driving permit last year, and are following up on ac cident drivers when investigation reveals they do not have a valid license.

S. forest service. This is the largest harvest since figures have been compiled and exceeds the 1947 cut by 200,000 trees. State and federal officers who compiled tj;e figures in the field state that the "true” firs, the white and noble firs, were the favorite of the Christmas tree shoppers. Douglas fir, always a tree much in demand, led the field this year. This was largely due to the heavy snowfalls which pre vented access to the higher eleva tions where the true firs are found. According to the reports re ceived from the service station operators and commercial Christ mas tree cutters, approximately 400,000 trees left the state for other markets. The principal points of shipment were Los Angeles, which received the most trees, and Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Arizona, Hawaiian Islands and New Mexico. Prices this year were low in relation to other commodities and this was borne out after Christ mas day when approximately 100,- 000 trees were left in the woods as culls or found unsold on city lots.

The district’s total net earnings in the five years and nine months it has been operating amounts to $151,048.05 which is more than the base purchase price of $150,000.00 paid to the West Coast Power com pany for the property. During this same period of op eration the district has granted three rate reductions totaling ap proximately $92,000.00 in saving to customers. Benefits to customers of the dis trict in the two above items total- ing $243.000.00 is more than 60 times the total customer’s invest ment of $3,988.19 which was raised by a tax levy of 2 mills in 1941. Both the gross revenue and net earning,-s of the c'ietrict have reached an all-time high in 1949. The districts gross revenue for the year amounted to $106.500.99 and expenses were $72,410.28 leav ing total net earnings of $34,090.- See a Demonstration I Order Now for EarHotl Dolivory $31475 LIBERAL TRADE-IN ON YOUR OLD WASHER FRIGIDAIRE AUTOMATIC DRYER $23975 71.
